The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) marketable skills initiative is part of the state’s 60x30TX plan and was designed to help students articulate their skills to employers.  Marketable skills are those skills valued by employers and/or graduate programs that can be applied in a variety of work or education settings and may include interpersonal, cognitive, and applied skill areas.

The BS in Health Care Administration is designed to provide graduates with the following marketable skills:

  • Manage the cost and revenues associated with the efficient operation of healthcare systems.
  • Respect the unique characteristics in diversity of patients, customers, employees and vendors associated in a health care operation.
  • Apply health care information technology systems to support efficiency in the operation of a public and private health care facility.
  • Develop strategic plans for health care systems that integrate ethics and social responsibility into the marketing strategies.
  • Demonstrate the ethical responsibility in their professional careers that are identified in the Health Care Executive Code of Ethics.
  • Apply the functions, roles, and responsibilities of Health Care Managers.
